15,000 people turned out for Saturday's march in Washington, D.C., according to organizers.
00:08
There were similar protests held all across the U.S.
00:11
In the final days before the presidential election, participants were out to demonstrate
00:16
support not only for Kamala Harris, but for reproductive rights.
00:20
We have to stand up for women's right to have control over her body, control over her life.
00:26
Women's rights are human rights, and we were back in the hallways.
00:30
So here we are today, standing up for democracy, standing up for the right to choose.
00:36
Protecting reproductive rights has been a key priority for Harris' campaign.
00:41
Women at this march are afraid of what the future could hold with a second Trump administration.
00:48
This is going to have a long-term impact on women's health and women's issues.
00:52
This election, everything hinges on this, in my opinion.
00:55
It's not just another election.
00:56
It's an issue of morality.
00:58
It's not just political.
01:01
While Harris' Republican rival Donald Trump has not explicitly said how he would tackle
01:05
the issue if he won, he has boasted about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, a national
01:11
constitutional right to an abortion.
01:14
By getting rid of this amendment, the decision was left up to individual states.
01:19
Some have banned it in nearly all circumstances.
